As soon as you learn that you or a family member has cancer, the journey begins. The care and support you receive during your journey are important. We will help you cope with the challenges along the way.

The chemotherapy suite located in the Outpatient Services Center includes four chemotherapy bays furnished with recliners and flat-screen televisions and two private rooms. Chemotherapy treatments are available Monday through Friday.

Patient Support Services

Oncology Rehabilitation

The Rockcastle Regional oncology rehabilitation program offers a holistic treatment to cancer survivors and those living with cancer. Every person with cancer has unique physical and emotional needs. Our oncology rehab program focuses on helping patients regain physical function and independence following surgical or medical treatment that may have left an individual unable to resume his or her normal lifestyle or in need of some level of assistance.

Patient education and training

Our clinical staff provides various resources that will help patients and their families learn what they need to know about their cancer type and treatments. Print materials and educational presentations are available to patients and their families. We also have a computer in the chemotherapy suite specifically for cancer patients and their families to access many online resources.

Look Good, Feel Better group sessions

Volunteer beauty professionals lead small groups through practical, hands-on experience teaching cancer patients beauty tips to look good and feel better about their appearance during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Women learn about makeup, skin and nail care, and ways to deal with hair loss such as with wigs, turbans and scarves. Each woman gets a free makeup kit to use during and after the workshop.
